Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of the Right Hon. Francis North, Baron Gullford; The Hon. Sir Dudley North; And the Hon. And Rec; Dr. Jon North, Vol. 1 of 3: Francis North, Baron Guilford, Lord Keeper It is just 150 years since the Life of the Lord Keeper Guilford was first issued in 4to, followed two years later by the Lives of Sir Dudley and of Dr. John North. A reprint of the former work appeared, in 8vo, in 1808, and an edition of the collected lives was published in three vols., 8vo, in 1826. Mr. Henry Roscoe, a son of Mr. William Roscoe, of Liverpool, saw the book through the press, and added some useful Notes elucidatory of the text, together with an Index, on which he evidently bestowed great pains. All these editions have become scarce, while the great value of the biographies, as contributions to the history of the time with which they are concerned, has become more than ever recognized. It had long been known that Roger North had left a considerable fragment of an autobiography in his own handwriting, and that this had once been kept at Rougham. The original manuscript of this work came into the possession of the late Mr. Crossley, of Manchester, about fifty years ago, and more than one overture for its purchase had been made to that gentleman, but in vain. At his death, in 1883, it was sold by auction; and in 1887 I was privileged to print it for the first time. This volume, too, has already become very scarce; it was published only for subscribers, and no copies have yet come into the market, nor is it likely that it will ever be procurable without difficulty.
